More Money Spent on Diabetes Meds than on Any Other Condition

More Money Spent on Diabetes Meds than on Any Other Condition: The Diabetes UK Center claimed that the increase was being pushed up by younger people developing Type 2 diabetes and being prescribed insulin to manage their condition. A spokeswoman for the center stated that, "Type 2 is increasing in younger people, and because it is a progressive disease people are needing an increasing number of interventions as time goes by." People with diabetes often take a combination of drugs to treat their condition. The co-morbidities of diabetes mean that it is not only vital to lower blood glucose levels through insulin or tablets, but also to prevent and treat complications. This may mean people have to take blood pressure control medication and drugs to lower cholesterol, for example, alongside blood glucose lowering agents.
